Ultimately, he decided to commit to Harvard Law School—and he’ll never forget all the people who helped him get there. “Throughout this time, people ask me, ‘How did you do it?’ it’s more so how could I not do it when everyone is breaking their backs for me, and pushing me to win.” Staton said. “When you have a support system, you want to give them your best shot. Because as much as you’re investing into yourself, you have others investing into you too.”(通过坚持，他参加了法学院入学考试，申请了九所学校——被五所学校录取。 最终，他决定进入哈佛法学院——他永远不会忘记所有帮助他进入哈佛的人。“在这段时间里，人们问我，‘你是怎么做到的？ ’重要的是，当每个人都在竭尽全力地支持我，敦促我赢的时候，我怎么能不这么做呢？” Staton说。“当你有一个支持系统时，你会想给他们最好的机会。因为在你为自己投资的同时，别人也在为你投资。”)”可推知，成功来自汗水和支持。故选B。 【28~31题答案】 【答案】28.

(为了让人们在城市中穿行，只有全自动零排放的丰田汽车才被允许上路。)”及第三段“The city will be fully sustainable（可持续的）, with buildings made mostly of wood to cut carbon footprint to the minimum.

(这座城市将是完全可持续的，建筑主要由木材建造，将碳足迹降至最低。除H2燃料电池产生的电力外，屋顶将覆盖太阳能板也将产生电力。)”可推断，该城仅使用太阳能及氢能等清洁能源，即这个城市只使用绿色能源。故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It will be a “living laboratory” for technologies including self-driving systems, high-speed internet connectivity to link major information and communication systems. (它将成为自动驾驶系统、连接主要信息和通信系统的高速互联网连接等技术的“生活实验室”。)”及倒数第二段“With people, buildings and vehicles all connected and communicating with each other through sensors, we will be able to test connected AI technology in both the virtual and the physical areas to maximize its potential (人、建筑和车辆都通过传感器相互连接并相互交流，我们将能够在虚拟和物理领域测试互联人工智能技术，以最大限度地发挥其潜力。)”可推断，Akio Toyoda的观点是希望把“Woven City”建成一个新技术实验平台。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Japanese automaker Toyota has announced its “Woven City” plan, which aims to create a “smart city of the future”.

This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle (奇迹) it is.（我们分享和经历的普遍奇迹是我们用嘴发出声音的能力，从而将想法和思想传递给彼此的思想。这种能力来得如此自然，以至于我们往往忘记它是一个奇迹。）”可知，根据文章，我们认为理所当然的奇迹是我们使用语言的能力。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.（我们的面部表情传达我们的情绪，比如生气、高兴或失望。我们抬起头的方式可以向别人表明我们是高兴还是悲伤。这就是所谓的“身体语言”。在许多动物中，竖立的皮毛是攻击的明确警告。同样，低头或下垂的尾巴表明，在任何动物聚集的时候，它们愿意屈居第二。）”可推知，在某种程度上，人类和动物没有什么不同。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering.（同样，在任何动物聚集的时候，低头或下垂的尾巴表明，它们愿意屈居第二。）”可知，愿意服从时就低头这一“肢体语言”的特征是人和动物共有的。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noises with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds.

F 37. E 38. G 39. C 40. D 【解析】【分析】本文是说明文。本文主要介绍了单词“emoji”(表情符号)的来源，它的含义以及使用范围。随着越来越多的人们开始喜欢使用表情符号，有人认为它对交流有好处，但有人则认为表情符合会降低人们的语言技能。 【36题详解】 上文“The word "emoji" comes from Japanese, literally meaning "picture character".”（“emoji”一词来自日语，字面意思是“图片字符”。）说明“emoji”的来源以及含义，与空处是递进关系，表情符号是一种代表思想、情绪或感觉的小符号，进一步阐述了“emoji”的含义。故选F。 【37题详解】 下文“With a smiling or sad face added to a message or post, your reader can "see" your facial expression while reading your words.”（在信息或帖子中添加一个微笑或悲伤的表情，你的读者可以在阅读你的文字时“看到”你的面部表情。）说明人们在书面语言上使用了表情符号, 人们更容易读到书写人的面部表情，与空处为递进关系，表明表情符号似乎比书面语言有明显的优势。故选E。 38题详解】 上文“ With a smiling or sad face added to a message or post, your reader can "see”"your facial expression while reading your words.”说明表情符合相比书面符号有明显的优势，下文“For instance, if your friend is moving across the country, you may just send them a string of crying faces to express your sadness over your separation.”（例如，如果你的朋友要搬到另一个国家，你可以给他们发送一串哭泣的脸来表达你对分离的悲伤。）说明，当人们找不到合适的词语表达的时候，可以借助表情符号。G项承上启下，说明表情符号还可以帮助人们表达情感。故选G。 【39题详解】 下文“A Shakespeare series for young readers has taken William Shakespeare’s popular plays and replaced some words with textspeak and emojis. The intention of these adaptations is to make the classics more accessible to young readers. ”（一个面向年轻读者的莎士比亚系列采用了威廉·莎士比亚的流行戏剧，用短信用语和表情符号代替了一些单词。这些改编的目的是让年轻读者更容易理解这些经典名著。）说明古典文学中使用了表情符号，C项中“classics”与下文一致，说明表情符号的使用甚至蔓延到了古典文学中，切合题意。故选C。 【40题详解】 上文“After all, how many of us today would rather send a message packed with emojis than make a telephone call?”（毕竟，今天有多少人会宁愿发一条充满表情符号的短信，也不愿打电话呢?）说明人们现在习惯于发送表情符号短信，下文“On that day, emojis will have become a real pictorial "language". ”（到那一天，表情符号将成为一种真正的图形“语言”。）说明表情符号未来将成为真正的图形“语言”，D项中picture是关键词，与下文pictorial向呼应，说明也许有一天人们会选择用图片来交流。故选D。 【41~55题答案】 【答案】41.

The 24-year-old college student was raised by a single father who worked three different jobs, breaking his back. But, despite his father’s best efforts, financial burdens steadily mounted. Staton’s study had suffered but he kept pushing himself forward. He said growing up was tough and he used to struggle in school. One teacher even suggested he switch to a special education class. But with help from a free tutor, Staton’s grades improved. He continued to improve academically while training to be a professional boxer in high school. However, his choices for college dwindled after suffering an injury, which ruined the chances of him turning professional in sports. He was rejected from every school he applied to. So to help support his family, Staton took a job collecting trash at a local sanitation company, which he said changed his life in ways he never imagined. “Most of my coworkers were formerly imprisoned. So, it caught me by surprise how much the people on the bottom of the society uplifted me and really wanted me to make something of myself,” he told the reporter. “They encouraged me to reapply to college. They had nothing but uplifting words for me and my future.” Through persistence, he took the LSAT and applied to nine schools—getting accepted to five. Ultimately, he decided to commit to Harvard Law School—and he’ll never forget all the people who helped him get there. “Throughout this time, people ask me, ‘How did you do it?’ it’s more so how could I not do it when everyone is breaking their backs for me, and pushing me to win.” Staton said. “When you have a support system, you want to give them your best shot. Because as much as you’re investing into yourself, you have others investing into you too.” 24. What can we know about Staton from paragraph 2? A. He received special care from his teacher. B. He used to have poor academic performance C. He worked three jobs to help support his family D. He lost sight of his goal due to family difficulties 25. What does the underlined word “dwindled” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Decreased. B. Change. C. Appeared. D. Continued. 26. What made Staton surprised while working as a trash collector? A The mixed backgrounds of his coworkers B. The misunderstanding about garbage men C. The strong encouragement from his coworkers D. The misfortune of people at the bottom of society 27. What can we infer from the text? A. Courage is resistance to fear and pain. B. Success comes from sweat and support. C. Achievements are going from failure to failure. D. Progress takes place outside the comfort zone. C Japanese automaker Toyota has announced its “Woven City” plan, which aims to create a “smart city of the future”. It will be a “living laboratory” for technologies including self-driving systems, high-speed internet connectivity to link major information and communication systems. The main streets in Woven City will be divided for different purposes. One part will be used for faster vehicle traffic. Another will be designed for people riding bicycles. The third part will be used for walking. To move people through the city, only fully-autonomous, zero emission（排放）Toyota vehicles will be allowed on the roads. In and throughout Woven City, Toyota e-Palettes will be used for transportation and deliveries. The city will be fully sustainable（可持续的）, with buildings made mostly of wood to cut carbon footprint to the minimum. The rooftops will be covered with solar panels to produce power in addition to power produced by H2 fuel cells. Houses will be equipped with the latest AI technologies, such as in-home robotics to assist with daily work and to check people’s health.

New Technologies for Smart Cities of the Future D Every day we experience one of the wonders of the world around us without even realizing it. It is not the amazing complexity of television, nor the impressive technology of transport. The universal wonder we share and experience is our ability to make noises with our mouths, and so transmit ideas and thoughts to each other’s minds. This ability comes so naturally that we tend to forget what a miracle (奇迹) it is. Obviously, the ability to talk is something that marks humans off from animals. Of course, some animals have powers just as amazing. Birds can fly thousands of miles by observing positions of the stars in the sky in relation to the time of day and year. In Nature’s talent show, humans are a species of animal that have developed their own special act. If we reduce it to basic terms, it’s an ability for communicating information to others by varying sounds we make as we breathe out. Not that we don’t have other powers of communication. Our facial expressions convey our emotions, such as anger, or joy, or disappointment. The way we hold our heads can indicate to others whether we are happy or sad. This is so-called “body language”. Bristling (直立的) fur is an unmistakable warning of attack among many animals. Similarly, the bowed head or drooping tail shows a readiness to take second place in any animal gathering. Such a means of communication is a basic mechanism that animals, including human beings, instinctively acquire and display. Is the ability to speak just another sort of instinct? If so, how did human beings acquire this amazing skill? Biologists can readily indicate that particular area of our brain where speech mechanisms function, but this doesn’t tell us how that part of our bodies originated in our biological history. 32. According to the passage, the wonder we take for granted is _______. A. the miracle of technology B. our ability to use language C. the amazing power of nature D. our ability to make noises 33. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Body language is unique to humans. B. Animals express emotions just as humans do. C. Humans have other powers of communication. D. Humans are no different than animals to some degree. 34. What feature of “body language” is common to both humans and animals? A. Lifting heads when sad. B. Keeping long faces when angry. C. Bristling hair when ready to attack. D. Bowing heads when willing to obey. 35. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The special role humans play in nature. B. The development of body language. C. The difference between humans and animals. D. The power to convey information to others. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The word "emoji" comes from Japanese, literally meaning "picture character".___36___ They come in different categories, such as faces and people, plants and animals, and food and drink. When first introduced in Japan in 1999, emojis were limited to 176 simple designs. Now there are more than 3,000 emojis. Due to their popularity, the Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year in 2015 was a pictograph instead of a traditional word. In today’s world, emojis have become more and more popular.___37___ People like them because they add emotional meanings, and are quick and easy to use. With a smiling or sad face added to a message or post, your reader can "see" your facial expression while reading your words. ___38___ For instance, if your friend is moving across the country, you may just send them a string of crying faces to express your sadness over your separation. ___39___ A Shakespeare series for young readers has taken William Shakespeare’s popular plays and replaced some words with textspeak and emojis. The intention of these adaptations is to make the classics more accessible to young readers. Some people, however, believe that these new versions have taken away the heart and soul of Shakespeare’s plays. As we can see, emojis have a tendency to pop up all over the place. Users of emojis say that they facilitate the way we communicate and express ourselves. But this makes others, especially educators, worry that we are losing the ability to communicate properly using the written word, or even the spoken word. After all, how many of us today would rather send a message packed with emojis than make a telephone call?___40___ On that day, emojis will have become a real pictorial "language". But, for now, maybe it’s best that we just enjoy using them. A. Maybe emojis’ best days are ahead. B. The most popular emojis are absolute classics. C. The use of emojis has even spread to classical literature. D. Perhaps people will one day choose to communicate in pictures. E. It seems that emojis have clear advantages over written language. F.
